This season, “The Chew” dropped a big 17 percent with women 18-49, and has been delivering its least-watched season overall since it debuted in 2011. The numbers have been down particularly with women in the 18-49 and 25-54 demographics.

ABC said that after seven seasons, “The Chew” will “cease production at the end of this season, but will continue to air as planned until September with all-new episodes airing in June.”

Disney/ABC Television president Ben Sherwood said of the “GMA” expansion, “We believe there is great opportunity for viewers and advertisers in expanding to a third hour,” while adding of “The Chew” biting the dust, “While this is the right decision for our business, it is also bittersweet.”

The show was also hosted by Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall and Michael Symon.

“GMA”’s main rival, NBC’s “Today,” has been running four hours since 2007.
